this could end up being very dangerous... if this is a hit other IPs are about to be resurrected quick. this looks so similar that I hope mfers wake up and say no to fast reboots like this.
I mean, is it fast?
It's been 25 years since the first movie and 15 since the last one
I don't disagree with the rest of the statement but I wouldn't say this is a fast reboot
It took them 5 years to reboot Spider-Man the first time
The movies were for the kids who loved the books, this show is for adults who are nostalgic for the movies
You'd think people would grow out of the stuff they liked at 12
They should have done Hogwarts in modern day
Yeah, I’m curious, is this still set in the 90s?

The film sets and style are so embedded into culture globally (theme park $$) that they're pretty much locked into the same thing. Would be cool to shift the time period or modernize wizarding world but they're not here to be creative lol.
Another weird element of this all that you don't ever really get with 2nd adaptations.
Is Kingsley Shacklebolt going to be in this
The trailer was decent.
But. But.
WHY THE F*** DOES SNAPE HAVE DREADS?!?!?!?!?!
Should have had a Jheri curl so the “greasy hair” insult would still make some kind of sense.
Is Kingsley Shacklebolt going to be in this
Yeah in like 2034 when they get to Order of the Phoenix
I said it before, I’ll say it again. I don’t have a single issue with snape being black. It doesn’t matter.
I do have an issue with this trailer and I’ve been the most optimistic about this remake than most people I know. Just don’t like the vibe I’m getting. Hoping for the best but idk

Shouldn't he be having the greasy hair? That's a part of his character and why Harry's dad rips him ahahaha

I just found out last night there's a Jimmy Fallon ride
I think it looks great. They are definitely toning down the whimsical vibe of the movies and leaning more into a more dark/grounded version of the story straight from the jump. I think this is a smart move as long as they don't overdo it...
There's also more of a gothic feel in the set designs which helps it stand out from the movies.
I also hate this dumb take of "they are only doing it for $$$" — like obviously! That doesn't mean the show can't be good. If it was all about the money, they wouldn't have hired veteran showrunners who worked on prestige tv like Succession.

i see fans r gonna run this whole "hypercritique every little thing about snape routine into the ground and drag it til book 7
Awww this looks so cute … let a new generation see what some of us saw growing up
quit hating
It looks good to me. I never read the books. Will a complete adaptation really be that much different than the movies?
They said years between seasons lmao streaming really f***dd the game up
Has to be cuz of the child labor laws or something
